Dinner meeting is a win-win. I don't have to make dinner and I get the big TV all to myself. #girldinner #yourbookofmemories

When making the BOA you have to cut over 100 photo mats.

Cut 8 1/2 x 11 horizontal at 10 1/2 & 6 1/4.

Turn 6 1/4 x 8 1/2; cut at 4 1/4.

Cut the 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 and cut at 6 1/4.

3 pieces of 4 1/4 x 6 1/4.

You could probably use the leftover for a tag. Very little waste.

Paper is a commodity...

Did you know you could get 4 - 5" x 7" out of 1 - 12" x 12" piece of cardstock.

Mark 5" on each side.

Mark /cut 7" on each side.

See template.

Project organizer - Part 2

I created a template in word using columns in the layout ribbon.

I then typed often used key terms to describe pieces leaving room to include additional descriptors; I.e., waterfall (wf), thin, inside, outside, etc.

After printing the template I placed post its over the words.

I then run the template with post it's through the printer.

I placed a page of the pre-printed post it's inside the page organizer ready to use for next project.

Love comments and feedback!

I have been trying to figure this out for YEARS! Frances created the "PERFECT" book for my Christmas Planner/Journal/Photo Album ALL in one!!!

Bonjour à toutes et tous

Je suis française et j'ai décidé de suivre les classes de Frances car j'aime beaucoup les explications et le style

J'ai commencé par le flipbook, réalisé en 2 exemplaires cette semaine prêts à être offerts

J'ai utilisé des papiers de chez Stampinup

Merci à toute la communauté des idées que vous apportez

Céline

Completed the August Delightful Mini Album Challenge. I’m gifting it to a friend in a week so I needed to get it completed quickly The papers I used are the Nature Walk by Stampin’ Up! Inspired by Karen’s Kindful Mini Album. Loving these challenges.

I’ve been busy this weekend making tweaks to some completed albums. Little things that were bothering me. Here is one I had to tweak. For the life of me I can’t figure out which album it is! If someone can help me out! Absolutely love the mushroom papers!

Hello, here’s my travelers mini album. Im gonna use this when i go for big walks near the coasts and forests. I used papers from my stash and these papers were so perfect for the theme. I just love it🍀The spine and pen holder is such a brilliant ideas. I’m so happy to see a practical book that I can take me with when I go for walks. I love the slits in the FIC. But I used design paper directly for the pocket. I’ll try it in some other album😄Thank you so much Francės Long for sharing your creativity with us❤️✨

A few of us are lucky enough to have a dedicated place in our homes to craft. Even then it can sometimes be small. I'm constantly looking for ways to organize my tiny craft room.

That being said I came up with an idea to organize cut items when making albums. This file folder has inserts to slide pieces into for portability.
